The Connection Between Feet and Pain Relief

Calf and Achilles pain in athletes is often rooted in issues that start from the feet. A treatment approach discussed involves focusing on the feet to alleviate pain in the calves without directly treating them. For instance, working on a patient’s foot using techniques like needling and stimulation on particular muscles showed improvement in calf pain. This highlights the connection between the body’s structure and how addressing foundational issues can lead to relief in related areas.
